I know this is silly, but I’m getting down about how many times people say my baby looks like my husband / his family (particularly my father in law) I feel so bad saying it because I love them all but it’s getting me a bit down, I think because I’m struggling too to see any of myself / my family in my baby. I’m rea...

First off, let me start by saying I u distant my kids are 100% my responsibility. I live in a city where my husband’s mom is the only family, and I have two under two. So my husband’s mom is always saying she’s going to come over to be with the kids, but she never does. Like she literally voluntarily says she will ...

I’m struggling so much with dividing my time between my 2 year old and my 5 month old. I find myself just crawling the living room floor between them both throughout the day. My 2 year old doesn’t play independently for very long and my 5 month old only has 30 min naps every 3 hours until bedtime. I’ll play with tod...

38+6w. Due for induction tomorrow. I have great support systems. My husband is amazing and has physically done everything to help me cope. My family has been really supportive. But I can’t shake this feeling of being anxious and uncomfortable - both for the birthing process and with becoming a mom. I’ve never wa...

I swear I get so tired…. I was trying to wash all of the pump parts and baby bottles. I kept hearing my baby cry from the room. I was trying to wait it out to see if he’d get it under control, but my nerves couldn’t take it. I go in there and he’s just laying there on his phone while she’s crying. I asked him if he ...

My baby is 9 weeks old tomorrow, and during his wake windows I feel super guilty if I’m not entertaining him the whole time. I play and talk to him lots but sometimes I just let him chill and he ends up just falling asleep peacefully. I bought him a gym mat that he likes for these moments which has helped massively....

I'm so thankful. It's the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight night. My hubby makes nachos and eats all his nachos and looks over and sees i haven't touched mine. He says what do you need? I say "well I'm feeding baby so I can't eat yet" he waits until it's burp time then takes baby so I can eat ❤️💜 I'm in love with…

Okay so back story. I’ve been married 4 years. I’ve caught my husband in more lies than I count. To be fair most of them have been about porn, but I’ve expressed that I’m not comfortable with that and he’s agreed that he wouldn’t watch it. Some of the lies have been more thought the first time I was postpartum (we h...

the term “terrible twos” bothers me a bit. yes toddlers can be difficult and dealing with tantrums is never fun nor easy, but i don’t think they should be labeled as terrible for doing developmentally normal things. they’re learning and doing their best, i don’t think it’s terrible at all

Really anxious about leaving my baby stay the night with his aunty for the first time.
